Godzilla


Godzilla
Composer(s): Richard Meltzer; Donald Roeser
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult;
and various other artists



With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

Het Laatste Rondje


Het Laatste Rondje ((aka Zeg Me Wie (Willy Sommers) - 2000))
((Adapted from: C'est Ma Vie (Salvatore Adamo) - 1975))
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo - André Hazes
Performer(s): André Hazes - 1981



De kastelein schenkt nog wat in
en kijkt dan op z’n klok
het is de hoogste tijd
iedereen drinkt snel z’n glas leeg
de laatste wordt getapt
‘n juke-box die plots zweeg
‘t Is de hoogste tijd wordt er geroepen
uit de hoek
de bonnen liggen klaar
ach mag ik vanavond poffen
vraagt ‘n mannenstem
betaal jij morgen maar
Het is tijd, de hoogste tijd
u wordt bedankt voor weer ‘n avond gezelligheid
dag mevrouw en dag meneer
u komt hier toch weer
Er wordt aan de bel getrokken
de laatste is van mij
dan gaan we snel naar huis
wie denkt er aan mij
ik heb toch ook ‘n huis
Aan de tafel in de hoek
daar zit ‘n man alleen
en staart voor zich uit
straks wordt hij weer snel vergeten
hij denkt waar kan ik heen
ik heb geen rooie duit
Het is tijd, de hoogte tijd
u wordt bedankt voor weer ‘n avond gezelligheid
dag mevrouw en dag meneer
u komt hier toch weer
De kelner roept kom op nou mensen
‘t is de hoogste tijd
ook ik heb ‘n gezin
want zij weet hoe laat we sluiten
kom ik thuis te laat
mag ik er niet meer in
Nog ‘n mop en even lachen, dan is het voorbij
de zaak die is nu leeg
lege flessen en wat pinda’s liggen op de grond
de juke-box die plots zweeg
Het is tijd, de hoogste tijd
u wordt bedankt voor weer ‘n avond gezelligheid
dag mevrouw en dag meneer
u komt hier toch weer

Mule Train


Mule Train
Composer(s): Johnny Lange; Hy Heath; Fred Glickman
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
and various other artists



(Hyah, hyah)

Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!!
Clippety cloppin' over hill and plain
Seems as how they never stop, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

There's a plug o'chaw tobacky for a rancher in Corona
A ghee-tar for a cowboy 'way out in Arizona
A dress of calico for a pretty Navajo
Get along, mule! , get along

Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!!
Clippety cloppin' o'er the mountain chain
Soon they're gonna reach the top, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

There's some cotton thread and needles for the folks in way-out-yonder
A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander
Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills
Get along, mule!! , get along

Mule train!! (Hyah, hyah)
Mule train!!
Clippety cloppin' through the wind and rain
They'll keep goin' till they drop, clippety clop, clippety clop
Clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety cloppin' along

There's a letter full of sadness trimmed with black around the border
A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order
A bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr. Black
Get along, mule! , get along

Get along, mule, get along!! (mule train)

(Hyah, hyah)
(Hyah, hyah)

Tanta Voglia Di Lei


Tanta Voglia Di Lei
Composer(s): Roby Facchinetti - Valerio Negrini
First release by: Pooh - 1971



Mi dispiace di svegliarti
forse un uomo non sarò
ma d'un tratto so che devo lasciarti
fra un minuto me ne andrò

E non dici una parola
sei più piccola che mai
in silenzio morderai la lenzuola
so che non perdonerai

Mi dispiace devo andare
il mio posto è là
il mio amore si potrebbe svegliare
chi la scalderà

Strana amica di una sera
io ringrazierò
la tua pelle sconosciuta e sincera
ma nella mente c'è tanta
tanta voglia di lei

Lei si muove e la sua mano
dolcemente cerca me
e nel sonno sta abbracciando piano, piano
il suo uomo che non c'è

Mi dispiace devo andare...

Mule Skinner Blues


Mule Skinner Blues (aka Blue Yodel Nr. 8)
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers; George Vaughn
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
and various other artists



Well it's good morning captain
Good morning shine
Do you need another muleskinner
Out on your new mud line

I like to work
I'm rolling all the time
I can pop my initials
On a mule's behind

Hey little water boy
Bring that water round
If you don't like your job
Set that water bucket down

Workin' on the good road
Dollar and a half a day
My good girl's waiting on a Saturday night
Just to draw my pay

I'm going to town, honey
What you want me to bring you back
Bring a pint of booze
And a John B Stetson hat

I smell your bread a-burning
Turn your damper down
If you ain't got a damper, good gal
Turn your bread around

God's Record Book Of Life


God's Record Book Of Life
Composer(s): Benny Martin; Don Reno; Red Smiley
Performer(s): Reno & Smiley



On the radio we hear preachers everyday
Telling us the wrong way from the right
They tell us everything we say and everything we do
Is recorded in God's Record Book of Life

Chorus:

When God checks His Record Book of Life then He will see
All the wrong that you have done from right
There'll be a black mark for each sin and a gold one for each deed
When God checks His Record Book of Life

The Bible says we all must stand before the great white throne
As the pages of His book are opened wide
And if we do our work on earth, we'll hear Him say "Well done"
When God checks His Record Book of Life

Chorus

God's Footballer


God's Footballer
Composer(s): Billy Bragg
Performer(s): Billy Bragg



God’s footballer hears the voices of angels
Above the choir at molineux
God’s footballer stands on the doorstep
And brings the good news of the kingdom to come
While the crowd sings ’rock of ages’
The goals bring weekly wages
Yet the glory of the sports pages
Is but the worship of false idols and tempts him not

God’s footballer turns on a sixpence
And brings the great crowd to their feet in praise of him
God’s footballer quotes from the gospels
While knocking on doors in black country back streets
He scores goals on a saturday
And saves souls on a sunday
For the lord says these are the last days
Prepare thyself for the judgement yet to come

His career will be over soon
And the rituals of a saturday afternoon
Bid him a reluctant farewell
For he knows beyond the sport lies the spiritual

Tanta Saudade


Tanta Saudade
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



Era tanta saudade
É, pra matar
Eu fiquei até doente
Eu fiquei até doente, menina

Se eu não mato a saudade
É, deixa estar
Saudade mata a gente
Saudade mata a gente, menina

Quis saber o que é o desejo
De onde ele vem
Fui até o centro da terra
E é mais além
Procurei uma saída
O amor não tem
Estava ficando louco
Louco, louco de querer bem

Quis chegar até o limite
De uma paixão
Baldear o oceano
Com a minha mão
Encontrar o sal da vida
E a solidão
Esgotar o apetite
Todo o apetite do coração

Mas voltou a saudade
É, pra ficar
Ai, eu encarei de frente
Ai, eu encarei de frente, menina
Se eu ficar na saudade
É, deixa estar
Saudade engole a gente
Saudade engole a gente, menina

Ai, amor, miragem minha, minha linha do horizonte, é monte atrás de monte, é monte, a fonte nunca mais que seca
Ai, saudade, inda sou moço, aquele poço não tem fundo, é um mundo e dentro um mundo e dentro um mundo e dentro é um mundo que me leva

Mujeres (Silvio Rodríguez)


Mujeres
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Me estremeció la mujer que empinaba a sus hijos
Hacia la estrella de aquella otra madre mayor
Y como los recogía del polvo teñidos
Para enterrarlos debajo de su corazón

Me estremeció la mujer del poeta, el caudillo
Siempre a la sombra y llenando un espacio vital
Me estremeció la mujer que incendiaba los trillos
De la melena invencible de aquel alemán

Me estremeció la muchacha
Hija de aquel feroz continente
Que se marchó de su casa
Para otra de toda la gente

Me han estremecido un montón de mujeres
Mujeres de fuego, mujeres de nieve

Pero lo que me ha estremecido
Hasta perder casi el sentido
Lo que a mi más me ha estremecido
Son tus ojitos, mi hija, son tus ojitos divinos

Me estremeció la mujer que parió once hijos
En el tiempo de la harina y un kilo de pan
Y los miró endurecerse mascando carijos
Me estremeció porque era mi abuela además

Me estremecieron mujeres
Que la historia anotó entre laureles
Y otras desconocidas, gigantes
Que no hay libro que las aguante

Me han estremecido un montón de mujeres
Mujeres de fuego, mujeres de nieve

Pero lo que me ha estremecido
Hasta perder casi el sentido
Lo que a mi más me ha estremecido
Son tus ojitos, mi hija, son tus ojitos divinos

Goddess In The Doorway


Goddess In The Doorway
Composer(s): Matt Clifford; Mick Jagger
Performer(s): Mick Jagger



Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the roof
I am in the basement
Looking for the truth

Tired of being patient
For the voice to come
If you want the answer
There is only one - only one

Her flesh is smooth and supple
And velvet as the night
Her eyes are shot with diamonds
A mouth full of delight

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the loose
Driving in the backstreets
Looking for the truth

I'm searching for your temple
Hunting for your shrine
I'm looking for a vision
By a neon sign

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

And her tears flow like a fountain
Like a river from the mountain

How much
How much can I take
How much, how much can I take

Goddess in the doorway

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

Tant Qu'il Y Aura Des Jours


Tant Qu'il Y Aura Des Jours
Composer(s): Michel Rivgauche - Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Tant qu'il y aura des jours
On se dira "je t'aime"
Et les serments d'amour
Seront toujours les mêmes
Car, pour parler d'amour
Il n'a pas d' problème
On redira toujours
"Oh mon amour, je t'aime"

Et depuis que la terre est la terre
Il n'y a rien à faire, rien à faire...
C'est ainsi, c'est la vie
Mais tant mieux pour les amoureux

Tant qu'il ya aura des jours
On se dira "je t'aime"
Et les serments d'amour
Seront toujours les mêmes
Car, pour parler d'amour
Il n'y a pas d' problème
On redira toujours
"Oh mon amour, je t'aime

... Car, pour parler d'amour
Il n'y a pas d' problème
On redira toujours
"Oh mon amour, je t'aime"

Mujeres (Rafael)


Mujeres
Composer(s): D.A.R.
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo tuve mujeres de todos los colores
De todas edades, de todos amores
Con alguna de ellas aprendi a vivir
Con otras, en cambio, me canse de fingir
Conoci mujeres sensacionales
Refinadas, bastas, profundas, banales
Casadas, infieles, solteras en paz
Conoci de todo... todo y mucho mas

Mujeres centradas, desequilibradas
Putas reprimidas, damas liberadas
Y ninguna de ellas me hizo tan feliz como tu me haces
Yo busque en todas las mujeres la felicidad
Y no la encontre ni por casualidad
El principio bien. el final, fatal
Tu eres la luz, la belleza y la realidad
Eres la firmeza, eres la verdad
Contigo mi vida acaba de empezar

Profundas, banales, reprimidas, liberadas... sensacionales

Yo tuve mujeres de todos los colores
De todas edades, de todos amores
Con alguna de ellas aprendi a vivir
Con otras, en cambio, me canse de fingir
Conoci mujeres sensacionales
Refinadas, bastas, profundas, banales
Casadas infieles, solteras en paz
Conoci de todo... todo y mucho mas

Mujeres centradas, desequilibradas
Putas reprimidas, damas liberadas
Y ninguna de ellas me hizo tan feliz como tu me haces
Yo busque en todas las mujeres la felicidad
Y no la encontre ni por casualidad
El principio bien. el final, fatal
Tu eres la luz, la belleza y la realidad
Eres la firmeza, eres la verdad
Contigo mi vida acaba de empezar

Mujeres centradas, desequilibradas
Putas reprimidas, damas liberadas
Y ninguna de ellas me hizo tan feliz como tu me haces
Yo busque en todas las mujeres la felicidad
Y no la encontre ni por casualidad
El principio bien. el final muy mal, mal, mal

God, Country And My Baby


God, Country And My Baby
Composer(s): John Dolan; Chico Holiday
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette



They say we sail tonight
And we may have to fight
I want with all my might to stay

But I'll go for God, country, and my baby
You know I have to go
And, dear, I'll miss you so

For God, country, and my baby
Please write me every day, every day that I'm away
And though I'll be alone across the Rhine
I'll dream about you, dear, and know you're mine

And if I ever need you, I'll close my eyes and see you
Your lips, your kiss, I'll need them so

I'll go for God, country, and my baby
Sure, as these teardrops burn, I promise to return
And when I'm home, I'll cling to the arms of my baby

And when I'm home, I'll stay in the arms of my baby

For all the world, you and me

I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you

I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song

Composer(s): Miguel Mateos; Jorge Canzutti
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos



Estoy con vos, te veo venir
el viento encontra no para
tu onda hacia mí
me siento bien porque te puedo sentir
un chico en la ventana nos oye rugir

Hey! Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley
Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley

Una mañana para no descansar
el colectivo te llama
cuidado al viajar
te necesito mi querido amor
como un disparo que resuelve
mis males pasados, oh! no

Hey! Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley
Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley

Toda la vida no la puedo pasar
esperando en el arco
atajar un penal
siento tu amor quemándome
cuando me veas en llamas
apágame, oh! no

Hey! Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley
Todo puede ser, algo me dice
tengo una mujer sin ley

Todo puede ser, o si puede ser
tengo una mujer sin ley

God Save The Queen
Composer(s): Paul Cook;
Steve Jones; Glen Matlock; Johnny Rotten
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



God save the queen
Her fascist regime
It made you a moron
A potential H bomb

God save the queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future
No future no future for you

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
'cos tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid

When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers
In the dustbin
We're the poison
In your human machine
We're the future
Your future

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
There is no future in England's dreaming

God save the queen
We mean it man
There is no future
In England's dreaming

No future for you
No future for me
No future no future for you

Mujer Contra Mujer


Mujer Contra Mujer
Composer(s): José María Cano
Performer(s): Ana Torroja & Miguel Bosé
and various other artists



Nada tienen de especial
dos mujeres que se dan la mano
el matiz viene después
cuando lo hacen por debajo del mantel

Luego a solas sin nada que perder
tras las manos va el resto de la piel
un amor por ocultar
y aunque en cueros no hay donde esconderlo
lo disfrazan de amistad
cuando sale a pasear por la ciudad

Una opina que aquello no está bien
la otra opina que qué se le va a hacer
y lo que opinen los demás está demás

Quien detiene palomas al vuelo
volando a ras del suelo
mujer contra mujer

No estoy yo por la labor
de tirarles la primera piedra
si equivoco la ocasión
y las hallo labio a labio en el salón
ni siquiera me atrevería a toser
si no gusto ya sé lo que hay que hacer
que con mis piedras hacen ellas su pared

Quien detiene palomas al vuelo
volando a ras de suelo
mujer contra mujer

Una opina que aquello no está bien
la otra opina que qué se le va a hacer
y lo que opinen los demás está demás

Quien detiene palomas al vuelo
volando al ras del suelo
mujer contra mujer

God Save The King

God save great George our King
Long live our noble King
God Save the King!
Send him victorious
Happy and glorius
Long to reign over us
God Save the King

O Lord, our God, arise
Scatter his enemies
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks!
On him our hearts are fix't
O save us all

O grant him long to see
Friendship and unity
Always increase
May he his septre sway
All loyal souls obey
Join heart and voice, huzzah!
God save the King!

Tant Qu'il Y Aura


Tant Qu'il Y Aura
Performer(s): Dave



Les calendriers se font vieux
et le monde meurt sous nos yeux
Chaque jour plus haut, dans le ciel
on bâtit des tours de Babel
Moi qui reste en bas
je comprends pourquoi
pour tromper l'ennui, on se réfugie
dans la nostalgie

Tant qu'il y aura des oiseaux
pour faire chanter les arbres
Tant qu'il y aura des ruisseaux
d'eau claire et des cascades
Tant qu'il y aura un printemps
qui met dans nos cœurs
un peu de bleu, un peu de vert...
il fera bon vivre sur Terre

Apprenti-sorciers, croyez-vous
que le monde entier soit à vous
Soyez généreux, laissez-en un peu
pour tous les enfants
qui deviendront grands
s'ils en ont le temps

Tant qu'il y aura des couleurs
pour faire chanter l'automne
Tant qu'il y aura des champs de blé
mûr que l'on moissonne
Tant qu'il y aura de l'amour
qui met dans nos cœurs
un peu de bleu, un peu de vert...
de l'amour qui met dans nos cœurs
un peu de bleu, un peu de vert...
il fera bon vivre sur Terre
